A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future.

posterity who are to reap the blessings will scarcely be able to conceive the hardships and sufferings of their ancestors.

I desire no future that will break the ties of the past.

No soul remembered is ever really gone.

Those who have no sense of posterity or any concern for future generations are the ones who are really dead. I mean, they are dead right now. Walking zombies.

Humans are not proud of their ancestors, and rarely invite them round to dinner.

Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.

A nation that forgets its past has no future

"Children, Never look Back!" and this meant that we must never allow the future to be weighed down by memory . for children have no past, and that is the whole secret of the magical innocence of their smiles.

No amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future.

Avoid Europe and anywhere that lives in the past.
Places that resist change have no vision, only memories.
Yesterday is gone for good.

People are never able to outperform their self-image.

Indeed, people never truly forgive those they've once been forced to admire.

No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living fully now.
